¹Zvino Jeremiya wakati apedza kuudza vanhu mashoko ose aJehovha Mwari wavo, aakanga atumwa nawo kwavari naJehovha Mwari wavo, iwo mashoko awa ose,

¹And it came to pass that, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking unto all the people all the words of Jehovah their God, wherewith Jehovah their God had sent him to them, even all these words,

²ipapo Azaria mwanakomana waHoshaia, naJohwanani mwanakomana waKarea, navarume vose, vaizvikudza, vakataura vachiti, kuna Jeremiya, Unoreva nhema, Jehovha Mwari wedu haana kukutuma kuzoti, Musaenda Egipita kundogarapo muri vatorwa;

²then spake Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men, saying unto Jeremiah, Thou speakest falsely: Jehovah our God hath not sent thee to say, Ye shall not go into Egypt to sojourn there;

³asi Bharuki mwanakomana waNeria ndiye unokumutsa pamusoro pedu, kuti tiiswe mumaoko avaKaradhea, kuti vatiuraye nokutitapira Bhabhironi.

³but Baruch the son of Neriah setteth thee on against us, to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they may put us to death, and carry us away captive to Babylon.

⁴Naizvozvo Johwanani mwanakomana waKarea, navakuru vose vehondo, navanhu vose, havana kuteerera inzwi raJehovha, kuti vagare munyika yaJudha.

⁴So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, obeyed not the voice of Jehovah, to dwell in the land of Judah.

⁵Asi Johwanani mwanakomana waKarea, navakuru vose vehondo, vakatora vose vakasara vaJudha, vakanga vadzoka kumarudzi ose kwavakadzingirwa, vachida kugara vari vatorwa munyika yaJudha,

⁵But Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, took all the remnant of Judah, that were returned from all the nations whither they had been driven, to sojourn in the land of Judah;

⁶vaiti, varume navakadzi navana navakunda vamambo nomunhu upi noupi akanga asiiwa naNebhuzaradhani mukuru wavarindi kuna Gedharia mwanakomana waAhikami, mwanakomana waShafani, pamwechete naJeremiya muporofita, naBharuki mwanakomana waNeria,

⁶the men, and the women, and the children, and the king's daughters, and every person that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan; and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriah;

⁷vakandosvika kunyika yeEgipita; nekuti havana kuteerera inzwi raJehovha; vakandosvika Tapanesi.

⁷and they came into the land of Egypt; for they obeyed not the voice of Jehovah: and they came unto Tahpanhes.

⁸Ipapo shoko raJehovha rakasvika kuna Jeremiya paTapanesi, richiti,

⁸Then came the word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,

⁹Tora mabwe makuru muruoko rwako, uavige muvhu pakati pezvitina, pavanopinda napo paimba yaFarao paTapanesi, vanhu vose vaJudha vachizviona;

⁹Take great stones in thy hand, and hide them in mortar in the brickwork, which is at the entry of Pharaoh's house in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah;

¹⁰ugoti kwavari, Zvanzi naJehovha wehondo, mwari walsiraeri, Tarirai, ndichatuma shoko kundotora Nebhukadhirezari mambo weBhabhironi, muranda wangu, ndiise chigaro chake choushe pamusoro pamabwe awa andakaviga; uchawarira pamusoro pawo jira rake rinobwinya.

¹⁰and say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne upon these stones that I have hid; and he shall spread his royal pavilion over them.

¹¹Uchauya achirova nyika yeEgipita; vakafanira rufu vachaiswa kurufu, vakafanira kutapwa vachaiswa kukutapwa, vakafanira munondo vachaiswa kumunondo.

¹¹And he shall come, and shall smite the land of Egypt; such as are for death [shall be given] to death, and such as are for captivity to captivity, and such as are for the sword to the sword.

¹²Ndichabatidza moto mudzimba dzavamwari veEgipita; uchadzipisa nokuvatapa; uchafuka nyika yeEgipita somufudzi unofuka nguvo yake, uchabvapo norugare.

¹²And I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt; and he shall burn them, and carry them away captive: and he shall array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd putteth on his garment; and he shall go forth from thence in peace.

¹³Uchaputsawo shongwe dzeBhetishemeshi, riri munyika yeEgipita; dzimba dzavamwari veEgipita uchadzipisa nomoto.

¹³He shall also break the pillars of Beth-shemesh, that is in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of Egypt shall he burn with fire.
